What To Do When Windows 10 Apps Have No Internet?
Reader Question:
“Hi Wally, I just upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. The upgrade was successful and I was able to use Windows 10 without any problems… until I noticed that Windows 10 apps were not able to access the internet. Windows was able to activate but apps and edge browser don’t have an internet connection. I’m not able to access network shares either.
Third-party software like chrome, steam, and other software is working fine. I’m pretty sure the driver’s fine. I tried installing the network adapter but nothing changed. What’s wrong with Windws?” – John E., United Kingdom
Before addressing any computer issue, I always recommend scanning and repairing any underlying problems affecting your PC health and performance:
- Step 1 : Download PC Repair & Optimizer Tool (WinThruster for Win 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP and 2000 – Microsoft Gold Certified).
- Step 2 : Click “Start Scan” to find Windows registry issues that could be causing PC problems.
- Step 3 : Click “Repair All” to fix all issues.
Setting up weekly (or daily) automatic scans will help prevent system problems and keep your PC running fast and trouble-free.
Wally’s Answer: Everyone’s trying to get the Windows 10 upgrade these days. Microsoft announced that just after 24 hours of its release more than 14 Million devices were running Windows 10. When you have an upgrade this big, you also have the potential of things going wrong. Microsoft is expected to release more updates to fix any bugs and issues in Windows 10.
A few users have complained that their Windows 10 apps do not have an internet connection. Here we will be looking at this problem and its solution.

Is Your PC Healthy?
I always recommend to my readers to regularly use a trusted registry cleaner and optimizer such as WinThruster or CCleaner. Many problems that you encounter can be attributed to a corrupt and bloated registry.
